SUSTAINABILITY
The race will be carried out without permanent interventions and with clear requirements for trackless traffic. Small fields, existing mountain infrastructure and local value creation are basic principles.

Nature first
We take all waste out of the mountain
Carpooling and transport coordination
Consideration for wildlife and vulnerable mountain nature
Use of local hosts and existing cabins

Run into SotDur

TWO DISTANCES: 50 AND 80
-Two distances, raw nature and a fantastic music festival at the finishline. There are two options to experience Breheimen. Choose Breheimen 50 for a compact and nice two-day mountain experience, or Breheimen 80 for the longer and more demanding variant. Regardless of your choice, you will go through an alpine landscape in a tough national park with high mountains, rocks, glaciers and water before reaching the finish at Sota Sæter.

Breheimen 50
Breheimen 50 is the classic two-day variant of the race. The first day goes from Sognefjellshytta to Nørdstedalseter. On the second day, the race continues on to Sota Sæter, where the finish line goes straight into SotDur.

Breheimen 80
Breheimen 80 is for runners who want a long and more demanding experience. The distance places greater demands on independence and it will be a tough load that requires something extra from you through Breheimen.

As the organizer, we use Garmin inReach for satellite communication and rescue. There will also be checkpoints along the way with mountain-experienced personnel who will accompany the participants - and take photos.

SAFE & SECURE

Trail marking
The competition follows a trail marked on the national hiking map for the national park. As the organizer, we review the trail in the time before the competition to check the marking.

Participant requirements
As a participant, you must have experience from long day trips in arctic mountains and alpine landscapes. You must be able to handle changing weather and be able to act independently between the checkpoints. The changing weather also requires that you always have the mandatory equipment and clothing in your own pack.
All participants also have a responsibility for each other. If another participant needs help, you must stop and assist as far as is reasonable. Safety always comes before time, location and ex*****on.

Mountaineering
Breheimen Ultra runs through weather-exposed, remote and demanding mountain terrain. As a participant, you are obliged to follow the organizer's instructions before, during and after the race.
At the same time, you must be able to make independent risk assessments along the way. You must be able to assess the weather, conditions, your own capacity, equipment and the situation around you. It is important to be able to make good decisions when conditions change.

Change of regular route
As the organizer, we will be able to change the route, mandatory equipment, start time, cutoff or implementation if weather, conditions, water flow, dangerous parts of the glacier or other conditions affect the safety and risk picture.
